@end multitable
@end multitable
You can query the amount of free space in the Innobase tablespace (=
data files you specified in my.cnf) by issuing the table status command
of @strong{MySQL} for any table you have created with @code{TYPE =
INNOBASE}. Then the amount of free space in the tablespace appears in
the table comment section in the output of SHOW. An example:
@example
SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM TEST LIKE 'CUSTOMER'
@end example
if you have created a table of name CUSTOMER in a database you have named
TEST. Note that the statistics SHOW gives about Innobase tables
are only approximate: they are used in SQL optimization. Table and
index reserved sizes in bytes are accurate, though.
Note that in addition to your tables, the rollback segment uses space
from the tablespace.
Since Innobase is a multiversioned database, it must keep information
of old versions of rows in the tablespace. This information is stored
in a data structure called a rollback segment, like in Oracle. In contrast
to Oracle, you do not need to configure the rollback segment in any way in
Innobase. If you issue SELECTs, which by default do a consistent read in
Innobase, remember to commit your transaction regularly. Otherwise
the rollback segment will grow because it has to preserve the information
needed for further consistent reads in your transaction: in Innobase
all consistent reads within one transaction will see the same timepoint
snapshot of the database: the reads are also 'consistent' with
respect to each other.
Some Innobase errors: If you run out of file space in the tablespace,
you will get the MySQL 'Table is full' error. If you want to make your
tablespace bigger, you have to shut down MySQL and add a new datafile
specification to my.conf, to the innobase_data_file_path parameter.
A transaction deadlock or a timeout in a lock wait will give 'Table handler
error 1000000'.
